`Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience is a collection of
consistently high quality chapters addressing a variety of
conceptual issues regarding the role that the cognitive
neurosciences can play in psychiatry. Best described as a work of
interdisciplinary philosophy, the book has a broader appeal than it
would were it primarily an attempt to construe scientific
psychiatry as a type of cognitive neuroscience.'
P Zachar, Psychological Medicine
`Psychiatry as Cognitive Neuroscience: Philosophical Perspectives,
edited by Matthew R. Broome and Lisa Bortolotti, two of the most
talented thinkers in the fields of theoretical psychiatry and
philosophy of cognitive science, is an absorbing and thorough
philosophical analysis of how psychopathology is studied in
psychiatry and psychology through the paradigms of cognitive
neuroscience and cognitive neuropsychiatry. This multi-authored
book beautifully
covers a wide range of topics, including the nature of psychiatry
as a science, the nature of mental illness, the reconciliation of
neuroscience with clinical psychiatry, and moral responsibility
in
conditions such as dissociative disorders.'
A Cavanna, S Shah and H Rickards, Cognitive Neuropsychiatry
`Matthew Broome and Lisa Bortolotti have assembled a stellar cast
of contributors to this volume. They bring together philosophy and
neuroscience in an attempt to give an account of psychopathology
that is more detailed and penetrating than the standard
descriptions and definitions. The quality of the writing and
analysis is uniformly excellent without becoming inaccessible to a
clinical readership. The combination of rigorous conceptual
analysis and
neuroscience will take psychiatry in new directions in future
years. This book offers an important route map to that future.'
J Callender, British Journal of Psychiatry
